LAYGIIOUN'DS should be run along lines tending to the development of all the pupils not the select few nho may be sufficiently capable to represent a school or district on the baseball or soccer learn. In my opinion too much attention is paid to the spint of rivaly and the formation of leagues tending ! to increase this spirit. In our particular district ve have a league of seven team3, representing the North, South and West ends. This league calls for a schedule of 12 games for each team within a space four weeks a strain on the time and strength of the particu-bov- s representing the schools and an injustice to the boys in general. If we would devote more time to all the boys and allow' an opportuv nity for two or three games in a season with rival teams, results would v f be more satisfactory . Une of the most important questions in the management of playgrounds is that of supplies. A boys ambition is attained when he becomes the owner of a baseball and it does not seem reasonable to ask him 1o put that into play when eighteen others are going to knock it to pieces. 1 oy s in certain localities can ill afford the money necessary, and for a comt' && paratively slight expense the community can prove to the boy its interest jii him and increase the efficiency and scope of its own work. Then there is an ethical side to the playground which is of great value. The teachir has it in his power to eliminate the cunning, trickery and manly conduct too often present in contests left to the boys themselves. and a sense of power are developed in the boy. lie is taught in the most effective way to subordinate his individual aims and wishes for the good of the whole. He is imbued with a high ideal of manly, clean, vigorous sport. Efficiency comes through individual activity and every influence is brought to bear in order that his activity may be directed to the Many Lives Lost in Recent Years From Accidents. best ends.

The prospectus is all there is to some people. x biting dog makes no preliminary an- nouncements. We are always ready to confess one anothers faults. A short fire escape is long enough till a fire breaks out. It is all some men can do to provide the unnecessaries of life. Some people spend their whole lives backing up and starting over again. It takes a philosophic mind to expect a dollar and be satisfied with fifteen cents. The reason some people do not talk more is they are limited to one tongue. The man who tells you all he knows will throw in something more for good count. The hardest work some people do is the talking they do about the hard work they do. An alibi is something by which you prove you were not present at he time you were there. v (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowles.) If a young woma is possessed of unusual talent and would beyond a doubt make an exceptionally good actress, attaining her lifes ambition and greatest desire, why should she hesitate to go on the stage? Is it because of that idea that a girl, simply because she goes on the stage, must fall from her lofty sphere of pure womanhood? Is it not discouraging to hear people You are a born actress; say repeatedly, But on why do you not go on the stage? the other hand, when you make the slightest suggestion to that effect, they shudder and turn away. It is my belief that there is temptation off the stage as well as on, and it is up to the persons themselves if they have plenty of will power, to resist. I for one would like to prove to those whom it may concern that if it were fifty jear3 hence I should be as pure in thought, word and deed as I am now. It is ones duty to make the most of Gods gifts, and if we fail there is the satisfaction that at least we have tried. If we succeed, it is a joy beyond expression. ed Once again the season is at hand when by the problem of a stray dog.

A novel wedding occurred the other day when Max Botefuhr and Miss Avis C. Doebler, daughter of William Doebler, a retired capitalist, were married In an automobile' as the car glided under the palm trees in Westlake park. The ceremonies began at the Seventh street entrance and when- - the car arrived at the Sixth street entrance the happy young couple were man and wife. When the automobile entered the park Rev. Cassius Morton Carter, pastor of the First Baptist church, arose with book in hand. We are standing here together in the sight of God and man " Go a little slower, said the bridegroom-to-be. We want it all to happen in the park. The minister continued: To join together in the holy bonds of matrimony this man and this Oh, my hat! exclaimed Miss Doebler, as the palm leaf became entangled In a ribbon. The minister continued: If anyone can show Just cause why they should not be joined together, let him now stand forward or forever Dont stop the car! said Botefuhr, I want It to keep moving. Hold his peace. the minister was looking pretty serious. Do you. Max Botefuhr, take Avis Doebler to be your beloved I wish papa was here, said Miss Doebler, he would enjoy this! Wife to honor and cherish until death do you part? 1 do, said Botefuhr. Do you, Avs Doebler, take Max Botefuhr to be your beloved husband, to honor and cherish until death do you part? I do, said Miss Doebler. The car waa within ten feet of the Sixth street entrance when the minister said: Then I pronounce you man and wife.

The reason is obvious. This is a serious matter to the husband or father who is solicitous for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble Is caused by an unexpected thing and can be corrected if taken In time and properly treated. A man in Colorado writes: I was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a practical Invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and a nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings. I continued to drink coffee, however, not suspecting that it was the cause of my till on applying for life insurance I was rejected on account of the trouble with my heart Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it altogether and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum I began its use. The change in my condition was remarkable. All my ailments vanished My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness .disappeared, and. most important of all, my heart steadied down and became normal, and on a second examination I was accepted, by the Life Insurance Co.
